Well, because Carleas happened to point out that there's frequently mentally ill moderators here, and I felt a rare impulse to show a bit of light-hearted solidarity. It probably won't happen again any time soon.

Ecmandu is crazy in one of those particular ways that make him virtually worthless as a contributor here.

I actually get a lot from my involvement with Rcmanfu, allows me to test rhetorical formulations in schizophrenics, seeing how they receive it and formulate back in return. Teaches me a lot about how they think, in many different ways. This helps me in terms of reasoning with people in general, and like to think we may be rubbing off on them. Ecmandu's Delusions of Competency and Relevancy is of little worry. I'm the Stoic here, not everyone else, maybe we shouldn't be like Zeno of Citrum and base half of our philosophy on the necessity of persecuting retards who are attracted to philosophy, and instead just accept they are fucked up, perhaps capable though unlikely to change, but in principle unwilling to give up on them out if pure dogmatic optimism. Who knows, one if us might find that golden realization in how to better comprehend people like Ecmandu, leading to treatments and cures.

In theory, this would be a website in which many people come and go, constantly being introduced to the site, and the confusion/irritation a new person experiences trying to deal with Ecmandu until they realize he's a schitzophrenic or whatever would overrule the fun/insight to be had playing with his head for those of us that are onto him. I think most of the rules here are based on this mostly mythical version of the website.

Of course in the ILP-that-exists of people who all know each other and are aware of each other's bullshit and is essentially stagnant, there's no reason to punish Ecmandu because anybody that talks to him knows what they are getting into. But in an ILP like that there's barely a need for rules at all.

I don't delete threads, I move them. Your thread was an incoherent bit of retardation followed by a link to somebody else's content. It went in the sandbox, which is specifically designated for low-effort material like that.

Actually, I subsequently found it buried in non philosophical chat... Not sandbox, which that and rant is where I looked.

It wasn't my choice to have three different sub forums devoted to low-effort shitposting, but we do, and your thread clearly belonged there. If you want a post to stay in my section of the forums, try actually writing some content.

What?? You want me to paraphrase a video with words to be worthy of your forums???

First of all, I highly doubt that. Secondly, if you did your post would have been left in my section of the forums. I don't care about your excuses- if you don't feel like doing any writing or have some magical reason why you don't think you should be expected do, be prepared to have your shit dumped in the sandbox where it goes.

Really?? I can't just write:

Trump lied about the homicide rates and then accuses news organizations of fake news because they won't report his lie of the day as truth.

That's less than 2 paragraphs.

Let's say the whole thing now...

Trump has some bimbo who doesn't know the difference between the words terrorist and "mastermind" (a joke in itself) even though he repeatedly says that he's smart enough to only surround himself with the best!!

That's only two sentences.

That would probably go to the Rant House. Or not, depending on my mood.

I said "trump is not my president" (and he's not)As my title and then posted a video which was about why he wasn't ....

You really wanted me to physically type:

If you're desperate to post an episode of a T.V. show to my section of the forums, then create a new thread and actually write your thoughts about it. Provoke a discussion. Maybe even use proper punctuation.

Right. And, I add to that: If at first you don't succeed, suicide might not be for you.

(Reality isn't so kind. Everything doesn't work out the way you want it to. That's why...) As long as you don’t get your hopes up, you can take anything... You feel less pain.

(Right and wrong are not what separate us and our enemies. It's our different standpoints, our perspectives that separate us. Both sides blame one another. There's no good or bad side. Just two sides holding different views.)

What do you think? To tell you the truth... I worry too much about what others think of me. I hate that side of me... That's why I didn't want anyone to get to know me. I wanted to hide that side of myself. I hate it.
